[firebird-support] Packing of firebird database

[bennie]

I have a firebird database with a table containing a large number of large 
images.  I want to reduce the file size so i converted all the images to a 
smaller size but the file size did not reduce.  Is it necessary to repack a 
firebird database or table?
If i create a new database, is there a convenient way using sql to copy tables 
from the old database to a new database - my sql capabilities appear to be too 
restricted for that.
Thanks
